★★★½
The theme of Cumbia Colors Man is this melancholic aquatic character that one can experience in Polo Blue. I’m not saying that the Benetton one is a clone, but they have a similar vibe.
That being said, it’s quite unique on its own: a pleasant cucumber/melon scent (calone) in harmony with eucalyptus & anise, which is what makes it have character and saves it from any accusations of being generic.
It’s good for everyday activities, longevity though is not great (his 90s brother Benetton Cold has much better longevity & projection) but for the price, I can reapply all I want.
Out of the three Benetton scents I own (this, Cold & Unisex) it makes me feel nostalgic like Cold does, although Cold is more sporty and straight forward 90s while this has some more sensuality involved. Unisex is my favorite of the three, but I won’t say its unique since it’s doing what Mugler’s Cologne & Guerlain’s Eau Boisee are doing.
Verdict: 11 euros well spent on Cumbia Colors Man (while others spend 50 for Invictus Aqua)

I bought this today as a simple (for 3 seasons) perfume for daily use during the outdoor activities and it really does it very well on that.
An easy to wear scent and a good choice if you don’t want to wear your expensive perfumes during a normal day.It is a pleasant replacecement instead.
It is fresh and playful but not complex.Anise note is very gentle and cooperates very well with eucalyptus and create together a nice and cool feeling but doesn’t remind me so much Greek spirit drink ouzo.The perfume that reminds me really the great smell of ouzo(simillar to Italian drink sambuca but much more aromatic)is Kenzo air/Kenzo air intense(discontinued 🙁 ).
Longivity and projection are moderate but it is a very inexpensive and safe buy.
I found it in a really bargain that cost me 14 euros/100ml (3.4oz)so i did not expect much more than that honestly offers.

I JUST CAN’T STAND IT!!!
Take a small bottle of white liquor; add a few eucalyptus leaves, a fistful of anise, and some fruit-flavored bubble gum…the result is Cumbia Colors!
